And this is my other suggestion (which came from tsd 2010 and from tsd 2008):

----------------

Just to remind:

Coders (any coder) are coding for free:

• if it is interesting for them personally, or
• if it is interesting for many members of this forum.

----------------

and Freelance section of the forum should be used in most of the cases.

---------------

... or upload source code and the coders may help.

Please send me the source code you have so I can help you.

Hi

You can send the code and ask coders.
But you can also try on your own to add a proper function which blocks or allows trading in chosen times. This function needs to be added before the function which open trades.
It might look something like this:

input double TimeStart1 = 1, TimeEnd1 = 22;

bool isAllowedTrading(){

   MqlDateTime curTime;

   TimeToStruct(TimeCurrent(), curTime); //current server time

   double hod = curTime.hour  // Hour of the day.

   if(TimeStart1 <= hod && hod < TimeEnd1){

      return(true); //allowed trading

   }

   else return(false);

}

Best Regards
